Legal Aid secures justice and resolves problems for low-income and vulnerable people in Northeast Ohio.

Legal Aid secures justice and resolves problems for people who have low incomes across five counties in Northeast Ohio (Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake and Lorain). Our staff and volunteers serve clients and collaborate with partners to increase access to the civil justice system. Civil legal problems include those related to health, housing, family, money and work. A person facing these problems will not have a right to a court appointed lawyer in most cases. Legal Aid works to fill this gap and help as many people as possible. Legal Aid’s services are free for clients.
